Original review summary

The review says Article 66 gives the minister responsibility for managing the ministry, including deciding how to spend its appropriations. That authority is not unlimited: the minister must follow government direction and applicable laws and regulations, and may be held accountable for violations.[S1]

Additional context

The review also notes that the Public Procurement Law permits negotiated contracting in emergencies but does not remove subsequent oversight of public spending. [S1]
